At three in the afternoon, Adrian and Moacyr Barbosa arrived as arranged. Melissa opens the gate for them and leads them upstairs.
Adrian was noticing the office from top to bottom, with a look of contempt, mainly with the location, with the building being poorly maintained, and with a graffiti facade.
"Sit down here, I'll bring you coffee." She goes to the kitchen.
"At least the cute classic secretary they have," Adrian whispers to Moacyr.
Josias, Romualdo and Tiago leave Romualdo's office and go to Josias's desk.
"Are we going to talk in the meeting room?" Adrian asks mockingly.
"We are going to talk right here." Romualdo firmly takes the floor, "As you can see, the company is starting and we have fixed this temporary location. When the company grows even further, we will find another location."
Adrian snorts, "Are you starting yet, and do you already have the nerve of paying damages?"
"One moment, young man," Tiago interrupt
Teodoro is in his office, watching the video "Vacations" by The Go-Go's on his small television. The landlord is smiling when he sees beautiful and talented young women, the music is sticky and the video clip is funny.Wallace appears at the door and gives a light knock. "Good night, sir.""No immorality is allowed inside, you saw the poster outside," Teodoro informs him as soon as he sees him.Wallace frowns. "What do you mean by that?""I mean that knowing my tenant, I can only deduce that you came to visit her to do what you should only do after the wedding." Teodoro also frowns, "Weren't you from the Church?""I am practically expelled for defending the woman I love," Wallace responds promptly."It remains to be seen if she loves you back." Teodoro counters in a cruel way."Can you tell me what her room is?" Wallace asks angrily."No, I can't. I already said that I won't allow obscenities in my building, so scram!"O
Wallace appears at home frowning to the extreme, too outraged to say 'good evening' to the family. However, they want to know what their son's day was like."Good evening, son." Isabel greets him, "What face is that, did something happen?""How about you tell me, mom?" Wallace replies fiercely.Harold immediately gets up. "Oops, lower the tone, my son! You are talking to your mother, and not to the vagabonds around the corner!"The mood immediately becomes tense. Uélton leaves the room to witness the discussion and help where he can."Brother, what's going on?""I came to talk to you about the 'harlot', who was cursed by you this morning," Wallace responds coldly, shooting his brother with his gaze.Uélton and Isabel face each other while Harold asks, "What is going on here, who we are talking about?""We are talking about my girlfriend!" Wallace says vociferously, "The woman who was chased and humiliated in the m
The Freire family was shocked by Wallace's announcement that he was looking to move to Pamela's apartment. What does he mean?"Wallace, you can't be serious!" Harold finally yells, "How can that be possible? You are taking on a problem that is not yours!""What do I do, father, if whoever should take the child, does not?" Wallace is about to cry. He moves away from the rest. "What do you want me to do? She has no one...""She has no one because she wants to!" Isabel screams."You are very cruel. That's why she is like that, aloof and aggressive. Pamela does not attack, she defends herself; you are the ones who provoke her!""Nothing like that, brother, she is the one who starts the confusion. It has been like this since I met her; since she started chasing Josias!" Uélton screamed, too, desperately. This is not happening!Wallace shakes his head stubbornly. "There is no way. Excuse me; I'm going to pack my things."Harold stops
Contrary to what Uélton thinks, Wallace did not have a whole night of shamelessness with Pamela. She slept on the bed and he slept on the cold floor, wearing only a few blankets. And Pamela still felt entitled to be upset when she saw that Wallace was going to sleep dressed."I thought you slept naked," she says, smiling slyly."I don't have that habit; and even if I had, how am I going to sleep without clothes on this cold floor? Do you want me to get pneumonia?" Wallace scolds her.Upset, Pamela doesn't even say 'good night' and lies down to sleep.So, the next day, they wake up and go to the bathroom. While Wallace is in the shower, with the shower curtain closed, Pamela brushes her teeth and decides to ask about Josias."Honey, do you know what Josias has been doing in Seu Romualdo's new company? It seems that he is no longer a bricklayer assistant.""He is no more." Wallace's voice is heard from inside the box, "Uélton sai
"Then that's it?" Josias asks, "Are you really going to be with Pamela, even after everything that happened, even if it cost your family's happiness?""What else can I do?" Wallace revolts and looks at him harshly, "You guys don't want to understand me. You don't want to understand Pam. She needs someone, and I want to help her.""The question is if she deserves to be helped." Uélton disdains, with a twisted nose, "Let's see if she will remain grateful.""Please, go away!" Pamela now speaks pleadingly, "You came too early; we just woke up. We don't want to ruin our Saturday with you here."Josias and Uélton look at each other and decide to leave. After closing the door, Pamela collapses on the bed."Phew, I thought they would never leave! What a bunch of inconveniences!""I'm going to the bakery to get some bread, dear. Wait for me." Wallace says this and approaches his girlfriend. The two exchange a kiss lightly and he leaves.
In the afternoon, a soccer match is taking place in a medium-sized stadium. It is the municipal championship where the Happiness Slum team is participating.Melissa, Dora, and Simeon are in the stands, cheering effusively for the team and for William, who has been devastating as a striker since the beginning of the season.But when news of Pamela's pregnancy surfaced, everything changed in William's mind.The enormous possibility that he was the father moved him deeply, and this has been affecting his performance on the field. In some matches, the coach was so furious that he left William on the bench.However, this match was decisive for qualifying for the quarterfinals, and the team was from the neighborhood of Saint Gabriel. The team was the favorite and has already been declared champion by the fans.Fabrício's memory had given the Campos family one more reason to root for William to defeat the team.But, the players seemed to be
"He was more lost than a dizzy cockroach and ended up getting a violent foul. I think he broke his leg in such a way that he will never walk again."Jeremiah narrates the result of the soccer match yesterday, for Wallace and Pamela in the kitchen. Teodoro prepared eggs with bacon with furrowed eyebrows. How annoying Jeremiah is!"Guys, how absurd, I'm sorry for William!" Pamela speaks in genuine concern. Wallace strokes her hair."Your concern moves me, dear. I'll look for them later." Wallace praises her.Jeremiah stares at Pamela and cannot contain an ironic chuckle.Teodoro approaches the table with the frying pan still hot. The three need to get away, as Teodoro did not warn them."Um, I really wanted bacon!" Pamela provokes Teodoro. He just looks at her like a sheepdog about to attack her.Josias enters dressed socially to go to the Church. "Ah, but what a joke is this? Are you out of gas on your stove?""Humph!" Pamela sn
Dora hurries into the room, startled by her son's screams. "Hey, what's going on here? What is this circus?""Mommy, get those bastards out of here!" William screams shamefully."Gentlemen, you are bothering my son!" Dora turns to the visitors.Simeon does not agree with his wife. "Honey, don't support William's tantrum! These are Uélton's parents; they came to see how our son is doing.""I was much better off before you came, so get out of here!" William's face is red with anger.Harold takes offense and replies, "Young man, I now realize that you did not deserve to represent our community. What a shameful behavior!""You don't offend my son that he just had an operation!" Dora approaches Harold menacingly.Isabel stands between them. "Excuse me, darling, do you have a problem with my husband? We both better solve it!"Dora purses her lips and looks at Isabel with disdain. "Better not. I don't want to disturb the order
